Diets and Deities

The Brief

Larrikin Interactive needed senior support across gameplay code, release work, and technical operations. Jacques joined as a technical consultant and senior game developer, brought in to cover the technical side of getting the game out the door.

Our Approach

Jacques' contributions spanned four areas:

• Technical Support: Addressing and resolving technical challenges throughout development, the kind of blockers that stall a small indie team without a dedicated engineer to unstick them
• DevOps: Streamlining workflows and improving deployment processes so the team could ship builds without a manual, error-prone release process
• Unity Development: Implementing game features and optimising performance, important for a rhythm game specifically, where timing and responsiveness are part of the play experience
• Steam Deployment: Assisting with the technical and procedural aspects of publishing on Steam, a process with its own build, branch, and store-page requirements separate from the game itself

For a small studio like Larrikin Interactive, this kind of role means acting as the technical backbone across development and release rather than being scoped to a single feature or system.

The Outcome

Diets and Deities shipped as a rhythm cooking game on Steam, with the technical and release groundwork in place to support the launch.
